[Launch Box 7.1 controller issues]

Due to the amount of people using tankstick, one could only think something is wrong on my end.  I am going to reformat and start over.  I was using a pretty fresh install, but when troublehshooting ps1/dreamcast/Saturn emulation I was downloading every VS C++ redis pack from 2004.  So.... I just went by and picked up a 4TB 3.0 external drive.  Anyone have any speed issues running roms directly from an external drive? 

[Launch Box 7.1 controller issues]

I'm pretty sure I am on the latest 7.10.  I downloaded and have set everything up within the past 2 weeks.  It sounds like maybe I need to reformat if I am having all these issues.  Should I be using windows 10 or should I revert back to 7?  If I do decided to reformat, is there a thread on saving everything all the downloads per system (box art, emumovies, etc)?  I have 10+ systems loaded with all the extra's and don't want to redownload everything.  I'm sure I can figure it out, it think I have seen the links within launchbox.  I would really prefer to fix my issue than reformat, but it doesn't sound like anyone else is experiencing these issues so I may not get much help.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Autohotkey inside bigbox (ahk tab) doesn't work.

autohotkey (same script) works with individual emulators outside of big box.

i tried configuring the retroarch.cfg once to match a post where a guy used tankstick and Xbox controllers. I would love to have that configuration or yours. However i have tried to move on from retroarch bc it will not save my player 1 bindings after setting them. It says "error saving configuration file". 

If I could get bigbox/launchbox to recognize autohotkey within the setting tab that would be great. Unfortunately it ignores everything.

I'm having trouble with the tankstick through bigbox. When I use autohotkey outside of bigbox it remaps the keys and works flawlessly with the emulators. As soon as I run the emulator though bigbox/launchbox it doesn't work. So weird! Yes I'm remapping buttons correctly in emulators as a standalone and yes it's mapped as keyboard mappings not a joystick. I'm using windows 10 x64. Any ideas?

Please help as i am losing my mind! I am having some severe issues with the x-arcade tankstick working with Launchbox/bigbox 7.1.  First of all i was having issues binding keys in retroarch.  Every time i try and bind keys it says error unable to save configuration file.  So i moved on from trying to use retroarch for a all-in-one emulator.  So i first started with basic ahk script inside the emulator edit tab.  I used a few basic commands to exit emulator and remap a few keys such as alt and cntrl that are standard buttons on the tankstick.  Launchbox/bigbox completely ignores everything in the autohotkey tab.  I run the same commands in autohotkey outside of launch box and everything works great.  I open a notepad file and all buttons map correctly.  I also download fusion and set controls based on the newly mapped buttons and works flawlessly.  I then leave it all as it's working, point launchbox emulator to fusion (works in standalone), and nothing works now.  Everything works fine outside of launchbox and i am not having much luck with finding others with similar issues.  I am so confused and it stinks because i love this interface so much, but if i can't get any help i will have to try something else.  I feel im pretty tech savvy, so this is very disappointing.  Can anyone please give me a hand?  I thoroughly hate asking for help, but would be extremely grateful for any pointers at all.
